Design

[gcwells]

I have my site designed and I want to use osCommerce just as a shopping cart. Will integrating osCommerce to my site change the look of my site?

No - your site and OSC are two separate things. You can integrate your existing design into OSC however to make your shop and your site look the same.

Hi Jasonabc;

 

Thanks for your response. Do you have a suggestion for the best way to familiarize myself with osCommerce and do you think I'll need to hire a web developer to impliment this? I have some html experience.

oscommerce can be a bear of an application to get used to the point where you can freely change up graphics, layout, etc. so you can do things like this:

I would definately suggest getting with either a designer who knows how to implement designs into oscommerce, or an oscommerce programmer who knows how to implement designs into oscommerce.

 

Either way I would definately ask them questions as they get it done so you can learn yourself which files to edit, etc. For example maybe they have the header navigation in the /includes/header.php, OR maybe they have it in another area. Everyone is different. Hopefully this helps.
